LIBRARY DISPLAY A collection of glass bottles, begun because plastic has replaced glass in so many ways, is on display in the children’s department of High Point Public Library. A collection of 20 dolls is on exhibit at Washington Street Branch Library, 201 4th Street. The owner of the glass collection, Amy Story, began collecting about two years ago because she believed that the increasing use of plastic containers would cause glass bottles to become scarce. She now has about 40 glass jars and bottles in her collection. Amy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Story, 1015 Creekside Drive, is a rising tenth grader at Central High School. A musician, she plays the piano, guitar and flute. At Ferndale Junior High School she was a member of the school chorus and band. Amy is also active in youth groups at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, enjoys reading and is a regular visitor to the public library. Any child who has a special collection may exhibit it in the children’s department show eases, according to Miss Elizabeth Gurley, children’s librarian. Children who wish to exhibit should come to the children’s room at the pubhc library and check the requirements. The dolls on display at the branch library are on loan from Jake Harris and Mrs. Ann Jones. They include large and small bisque and cloth dolls of many nations, American Indian dolls dating back to 1890, black dolls from Jamaica, ones made by slaves and typical black dolls of today. Both collections will be on exhibit for a month. City manager Harold R. Cheek today announced that the City of High Point plans to spend the expected $686,717 in general revenue sharing funds allocated for the first six months of 1973 on the following projects: Rodent Control - $50,455; Library - $370,540; Internal Auditing - $19,280; Land and Equipment for Fire Department - $76,442; Repair of Municipal Swimming Pools - $50,000; Initial Development of Municipal Service Center to replace Taylor-Grimes Shops - $120,000. A detailed account of the City of High Point’s plaimed use of revenue sharing funds will appear in the High Point Enterprise on June 20, 1973. Records documenting the plan are open to pubhc inspection at the Office of the City Clerk, second floor, 1305 Trinity Avenue, High Point, North Carolina. Publication of such a plan, in addition to a subsequent actual use of funds report, is required by the state and local fiscal assistance act of 1972, which authorized revenue sharing. City manager Cheek further added that the proposed 73-74 city budget could not be balanced without monies available from general revenue sharing.

Sickle Cell Expands Services Sickle Cell Outreach and Education, a Model Cities project, is continuing operations at 402 E. College Drive, (formerly Harrison St.). The project is sponsored by the High Point Business and Professional Men’s Club. The Model Cities Fourth Action Year is slated to begin July 1, 1973 and with the beginning of the new Action Year, Sickle Cell will expand its services to offer free sickle cell testing on a daily basis in the Sickle Cell Outreach and Education office. Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease of the blood. In the United States it primarily affects Black people. The more serious form of this disease is known as sickle cell anemia. The mild form or carrier state is known as sickle cell trait and occurs in about 10% of the Black people in the United States. A simple blood test will determine if a person has either of these conditions. In most cases, however, sickle cell anemia causes so many serious symptoms that it is usually diagnosed in early childhood. The sickle cell test is the only way that the sickle cell trait can be detected. It usually causes no symptoms. But, when 2 people who have sickle cell trait have children, there is an increased risk of having a child with sickle cell anemia, for which there is yet no cure. Previously, the sickledex testing clinic was held on Mondays at the Guilford County Health Department. However, due to an unavailabihty of funds to maintain supplies for testing, this service has been discontinued. Also, because of other various chnics, being held at the Health Department and a time limitation, a large number of persons were not able to be tested, the majority being school age children. Therefore, in an effort to accomodate more adults, sickledex testing will be available 9am until 5pm, Monday through Friday. Several evening testing clinics are planned for Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6 pm until 9pm, especially for famihes and adults who would, otherwise, be unable to attend the clinic during regular resting hours due to working hours and/or other reasons. In addition testing will be held at specified neighborhood locations throughout the year.

The sickledex test is a simple and almost painless procedure. It consists of pricking a finger to obtain a few drops of blood which is added to a specially prepared solution. After about 5 minutes the test is interpreted as negative or positive. Should an individual react positively to the sickledex test, he is then referred to High Point Memorial Hospital for an addition test because the sickledex test does not distinguish between sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait. This test, too, consists of obtaining blood for analysis. The project will maintain its educational program which was designed to inform the public about sickle cell disease. Ms. Bodie and Ms. Anne Manning, project Counselor, are available to speak at clubs, church groups and other interested organizations and have films and printed htereature about sickle cell disease. The project will be open not only to Model Neighborhood residents but to all residents of High Point and will coordinate the services of other Model Cities projects to provide testing and follow-up medical care.

Know Your Rights Is there any agency in High Point that keeps a record of my credit rating? Yes, the High Point Credit Bureau, at 740 N. Main Street keeps a file of almost every resident of High Point who has borrowed money, bought things on credit, or bought or sold regularly with local businesses. What kinds of things are kept in my file at the Credit Bureau? The bureau keeps a record of all your credit transactions, both good and bad. For instance, if you borrowed $500 from a loan company and paid it all back or were keeping up on your payments, that would be on file. If you got behind, that too would be on your record. The same holds true if you have a charge account at a department store. In addition, credit bureaus in other towns will forward any files they have on you to High Point if you live here. Local businessmen regularly supply information to be added to the file.
